AZNs are the worst tourists. I was at Pike Place market yesterday, which is kind of a farmers market, meat market, flea market all wrapped up into one. Tourist attraction here in Seattle. And these AZNs were snapping pics of fucking fish. A fish market, dead fish on ice, snap snap snap, peace sign, etc. :wtf: it's fucking FISH people..... FISH. You can see fish in any grocery store in the US. :facepalm:
Yeah, been to PP many times over the years.

You think that is strange?

Even my wife was shocked at the number of Japanese that couldn't/wouldn't speak English that were apparently celebrating at Pearl Harbor yesterday. Their happy vibes were passing me off pretty good when we were in a place that has a heavy meaning, and in my opinion deserves quite a bit of respect for the souls that were never relieved of duty at the site for the last seven decades.

:disgust:
Visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki and happy vibes over there while showing a postcard of Enola Gay?

Waimea canyon. Was supposed to do it earlier in the week but we moved things around.

Yesterday we were on Oahu and I tried to haggle a few authorized distributors into working a discount on a Rolex Daytona, but as I suspected..... They didn't go for it.

I figured with the 4% sales tax here and a discount I would buy it, but my local sales tax @ 8.25% and a 15-20% discount is possible at home.

Tons of AZNs there from Japan just paying crazy prices for everything in Waikiki. The shopping area in Waikiki was popping off hardcore yesterday. The guy at one jeweler told me that he would discount it, but they barley keep them in stock for more than a week with the foreign money that flies in daily and the store policy is zero discounts. The two other authorized dealers seemed to share the feeling.

Oh well, I really didn't need to be that much on a watch anyway. It's pretty :wasteful: in the real world.

When I was in London back in January, literally 60% people that I see are ALL asians, and they take pics of everything, even a fucking souvenir that has no meaning what so ever, and I would bet all their iphones are 256 gig, cuz theres no way a 60 gig can store all the pics they take.

Same with airport passport lines, half of them watch videos and take their sweet ass time to drag their $900 gucci slippers with fur and watch some gangnam style type music videos. Its just so irritating

Gonna be balls hot here, upper 90's and humid. :disgust:
Got some stupid, :wasteful: yard work to do tomorrow then dinner at a :drool: Thai place with some old friends, then a Father's Day picnic with the in laws extended family. Should be quite the sweat-fest. Bleh.
Gym tonight, then probably smoke and sleep. Tomorrow I need to grab groceries and hit the gym again, then Michelle and I are going to go to this "interactive art" exhibit thing called Wonder Spaces. We went last year and it was pretty cool. New "artists" and exhibits this year. Got some cool pictures last year, so bringing my camera again. We might go watch Solo after that. Sunday I'm hoping to do nothing at all besides get Ava out to play somewhere, get her nails trimmed up, take the jeep to get washed, then relax and meal prep.
Going as just friends, or ... :hubba:

Its a good thing not many asians come to Turkey, if they drive, they’ll fuck up the istanbul traffic 5x worse than it already is. Especially when they don’t look to cross the street and they’ll instigate a 3 car pileup

Transferring to rehab today. She’s in better spirits and we’ve seen some movement on her left side.

Speaking of AZNs, yesterday on the way home there were 3 arguing with one another on the fast lane of the 495 because pile up accident. A Camry, an Elantra, and a Prius. No damage that would render cars undriveable, yet they decide to argue instead of moving them to shoulder during rush hour traffic in DC.

Just hanging out. The space and not living together has actually been really good for us. She's finally actively looking for a new job, which will be good for her in general and we're both going to be going to therapy. Still too early to tell if we'll be able to give things a shot in the future, but it's nice being able to spend time together without the pressure from before and seeing that we're both working on bettering ourselves.

Got it. I was picturing some sort of swirlled ice cream sundae or something. I don't normally crave sweets, but god damn I could eat some right now.

Pretty typical for 495, they always chill where the accident happened until the cops come and get asked to move to shoulder

Weight is down to 211.4lbs as of this morning. We're now switching from this mini-cut I've been on to growing again. Hoping to get up to 230ish by the end of September, but a much more lean 230 than what I hit in April. Then we'll actually start dieting down for the show and see how lean I can get.

Im good. Lifes just throwing new things at me daily.
Lets put some lipstick on this pig right now. You got in and got out with zero damage and obtained a fair amount of education. You were like a green beret. You made a drop behind enemy lines, learned a lot about the indigenous population, then emerged, unscathed, riding on the front skid of a Huey, ready to slay the poon on Tinder and other apps provided to you by Pay Area warlords.

Haha my initial thought was that we'd get up to 250 or 260, but I thought we'd bulk from Jan to Sept. He wanted to see how my body responded to dieting before it was time to diet though, so we did this mini-cut and dropped an easy 20lbs in 9 weeks while I was still eating 3000 calories a day.
